ENDURA MT500 D3O GHOST KNEE PADS

These lightweight knee guards are designed to add some protection without affecting comfort when riding all day. And that, for the most part, is exactly what they do. The flat, flexible D3O padding isn’t pre-curved (as it is on Troy Lee Designs’ Stage pads) but is designed to articulate well to ensure free movement. It can bunch up when you’re putting on the pads on, requiring you to wriggle it around until it sits where it needs to be. The sleeve is tight, which not only helps to keep the D3O impact foam where it’s meant to be, but also stops the pad slipping down while riding. While these don’t feel quite as substantial as some rival pads, they’re really comfy and ideal for those looking for a bit of extra protection when trail riding. Rob
